STOVE FOR COOKING AND HEATING.

Speccaton of Letters Patent No. 290, dated July 19, 183'?.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. KIMBALL, of Peterboro, in the' county of Hillsboro and State of New Hampshire, have invented an Improved Stove for Heating and Cooking; and I do hereby declare that the followingl is a full and exact description` thereof.

Figure l is a front view of the stove, the lower part of which, A, is in the form of the ordinary open, or Franklin, stove; and in this the fuel employed may be wood, the

inclosed part above this constitutes a. closel stove, having grate bars at its bottom nearly even with the upper part of the opening of the open stove, or about theV place of the dotted line C.

Fig. 2, is a top View of the stove, the upper plate (Fig. 3,) which receives the cooking utensils, being removed to exhibit the interior arrangements. B, B, Fig. 2, are the grate bars which stand immediately over the open lire place. I usually make a door at one end of this upper lire-place, or cham* ber of combustion, for the supply of fuel, and the management of the lire. In this compartment either wood, or coal, may be burnt at pleasure.

Fig. 4, is a side view of the stove, D being` an oven which extends across the whole width of the stove, and has flues on each side of it, formed by double plates, situated as shown by the red lines.

In the back plate of the open lire place, there are slots, or openings, E, E, which lead directly into the flues F, and Gr, at the bottom and back of the oven; H, is the handle of dampers, or shutters, by means of which these slots may be closed when desired.

I, in Fig. 2, is the upper termination of the flue at the front of the oven, which may extend up to within an inch or two of the top plate, Fig. 3. This Hue is closed in the part I, but open at J, J, allowing the heated air to pass into it, and thence under, and up behind, the oven, in its way to the Stove pipe K, K, are partitions which reach from the top of the oven to the upper plate, andaid in determining` the course of the draft.

Y L is a valve, lor damper, which closes the passage between these partitions to the stove-pipe. Y

M, M, are shutters which. may be opened,

or closed, at pleasure, allowing, or refusing Va passage, to the draft. f

When the lire is made in the open re place, the openings E, E, at its back allows the heated air to pass under, and up the back of, the oven, the valves L, and the shutters M, M, being closed. If the openings E, E, are closed, and the valves and shutters at the top closed also, the heated air will then ascend, pass down the openings J, J, in front of, under, and at the back of, the oven. If the valve L, be opened, and the shutters M, M closed, there will be a direct passage. to the smoke-pipe, and if on the contrary L, be closed, and M, M opened, the passage will be through the spaces N, N, and under the boilers in the part of the top plate which covers them.

Vhena lire is made in the upper, or close, stove, the openings E, E, are to be closed, and the mode of managing the valve and shutters between the two upper plates will be obvious, from their nature, and from the foregoing observations.

4What I claimv as my invention and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is-

rIhe particular manner in which I have combined a double stove, and the lues, or
